Read the full game description
Valkyries is a compact tactical adventure in which rival shield-maidens cross dangerous battlefields to prevent Ragnarök. Multi-use cards power movement, attacks, and character abilities on a square grid, forcing every hand to support several competing needs. A game book introduces the system progressively through its opening chapters, then unlocks the full mode, a Vanaheim campaign, and tools for custom scenarios. Variable powers and modular encounters keep the twenty-minute battles flexible and replayable.
